preserve mtime of local clone

Browse Source 
A local clone without hardlinks copies all objects, including dangling
ones, to the new repository. Since the mtimes are renewed, those
dangling objects cannot be pruned by "git gc --prune", even if they
would have been old enough for pruning in the original repository.

Instead, preserve mtime during copy. "git gc --prune" will then work
in the clone just like it did in the original.
